Going Green..

Hi lovelies,
I hope you are all having a fabulous week? I am in a great mood because I finally heard back regarding a job interview in London! They confirmed a time which means I will be going back to London in early October for an interview, its all looking very promising, yippee yah yay!

So today I went green.....(MakeUp wise then haha).
Therefore sharing a quick green ETOD look:

♥ Eyes:
Urban Decay Mildew e/s (all over lid)
MAC Wedge e/s (crease & lower lash line)
Urban Decay Maui Wowie (tear duct)
MAC Dazzlelight e/s (brow bone high light)
MAC Fluidline in blacktrack (upper lash line)
Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara

To finish off today's post; a quick self portrait shot showing off my hairdo.

All I did was twisting the top of my hair (on each side) braiding it and then pinning it back. Like?

"Flushed" Cheeks

One of my favourite shops in London is Topshop. The one on Oxford Street is just SO massive, you could get lost in there....(actually I think I did almost get lost! haha) Beside clothes they have an amazing range of shoes, accessories, jewellery and since not that long also MakeUp! I had read a few reviews on their products, so I was excited to try out some Topshop MakeUp myself. 
I ended up buying a cream blusher, called "Flush"

What Topshop says: "Lightweight cream to powder blush that melts into the skin giving a natural luminous, radiant finish" 

Flush is a pretty rose pink with a slight coral undertone. It looks very bright in the pan but I feel its a lovely soft shade of pink when blended onto the cheek, giving you that "flushed" cheeks look. The blush has great pigmentation, lasts really long and it it applies from a cream to a soft powdery finish. All I do really is dot it onto my cheeks and blend! Plus it can also be worn as a lipstick/stain.  I say for £6 it's a bargain!

Swatched on my hand in natural light. Left: not blended. Right: Blended

Btw I ♥ the packaging - the dots are too cute!

Spaghetti 'Meat' Balls

While I was in London I stayed with my dear friend & fellow blogger Tanya. She is a Russian kiwi that moved to London about 2 years ago. There she runs a corporate wellness company & is a raw food living coach! I have always been very intrigued by her raw food lifestyle & food so on my first night in London, she treated me to my first Raw Food Experience!

Our DELICIOUS dinner Spaghetti 'Meat' balls :)

Us girls catching up on goss over dinner!

The dinner was yummy and it was really fun to learn more about 'cooking' raw food. Tanya has a fantastic blog where she shares her healthy & fun recipes! Go check it out now; as she has just posted about my raw food experience! http://www.betterraw.com/ :)

My very 1st ASOS purchase!

When I was in London I met up with a gorgeous girlfriend of mine. And while we were having drinks & dinner I just couldn't stop checking out and admiring her GORGEOUS handbag. I just loved it.
She told me it was an ASOS purchase & at the pretty small cost of only £29, I could hardly believe it because it looked so expensive and fabulous! So...I will be honest....I ended up going to ASOS.com & finding the bag...and then I couldn't resist the "add to Bag" button! Sorry my dear Kate, I admit it, I am a complete copycat! But I hope you can see it as a compliment, because you are SO super stylish :) ♥

This was my first ever ASOS purchase & I was so excited when it arrived! Gosh online shopping is so much fun! Lo and behold here it is my beautiful new bag:

Ps: can I just briefly utter my disgust here on Lady Gaga's "raw meat" dress she wore the other day at the MTV VMA's? I don't want to post a picture of this gross outfit on my blog so if you don't know what outfit I am talking about then check it out by clicking this link. Honestly; being artistic, creative and out there is admiring but this....I can almost find no words to describe it! Yuck...
